Sing with Goldie

Sing with Goldie carries triple benefits!

Not only is it an enjoyable aerobic exercise, it also

stimulates new brain learning, while in a social setting

with your friends. Listening to and performing music

reactivates areas of the brain associated with

memory, reasoning, speech, emotion, and reward.

There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating that

music can boost memory and mood*.

Two recent studies, one in the United States and the other in Japan,

found that music doesn't just help us retrieve stored memories,

it also helps us lay down new ones. In both studies,

healthy elderly people scored better on tests of memory and

reasoning after they had completed several weekly classes in which

they did moderate physical exercise to musical accompaniment.

Come join us and SING ALONG!

Lifelong learning is important to seniors

There are lots of academic literature

suggesting that stimulating leisure activities

increase brain-reserve and slow down cognitive decline.

It also provides an enjoyable social setting.

Join us for a fun learning time together!

The range of topics are as diverse as our

fascinating country and cultures.

It could be about how the Atlantic

Puffins* live in Canada.

Do you know there are many different

types of interesting birds in our

local neighborhoods?

Have you seen our magnificent

Northern Light in northern Ontario?

How do the First Nations people interpret

northern light and their indigenous folklore?
